Ben Nevis Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 2013 Vintage

Colour

Natural amber-gold with warm honey tones and a soft copper gleam.

Nose

Opulent and inviting, the nose unfolds with dark dried fruits, toffee and vanilla, mingled with cocoa and roasted nuts. Hints of orange zest and spice drift over warm, well-matured oak, delivering a full, luxurious aroma that promises the whisky’s rich, complex character.

Palate

Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, this Ben Nevis delivers weighty richness. Dried plum and fig mingle with toffee, dark chocolate and oak spice, tempered by a gentle sherry sweetness. The 46% ABV adds warmth, ending in a long, creamy finish with fruit, spice and a hint of nuttiness.

Finish

Long, richly sherried and warming, with lingering notes of raisin and dark fruit, brushed by cocoa and toffee. Spices—cinnamon and clove—and a touch of oak frame the finish, fading into velvet tannins and a warm, lasting sweetness that lingers on the palate.
